I know it's just a tv show but boy watching it tonight just brought tears to my eyes, knots in my stomach and my heart is heavy.
I actually watched it during the fall and I guess over the holidays it must have went on a holiday break and as we celebrated Christmas and New Years, I kind of forgot about it. Then mom came over to the house for a visit. I was looking through the channels trying to find something of interest for her to watch when I came across it. Oh my gosh, how did I forget about this show? So I taped it. And of course forgot about it again.
Then this Saturday, I was surfing through the channels and what do you know, it was on again. So I taped it again. Now it's Sunday and although the weekend was full and productive I was tired and ready for bed. But at 8:00pm all I could think about was why am I going to bed so early?
So I decided to go downstairs and what do you know, I remembered that I taped my show and thought, lets watch it and clear out the DVR. I didn't know what to expect. I haven't seen the show in weeks. Where did I leave off. Would I even be interested?
Of course it sucked me in and although I do really like the show, last weeks episode 1/31/15 was especially hard to watch. The patient got a transplant and his body rejected it therefore causing him to die on the show. Which to me wasn't shocking to kill off the character but it really tugged at my heart strings. At the same time, another character's cancer came back. Which seriously made me think about life, my cousin, and myself. Cody and I just had a conversation the other night about me having cancer and how lucky I was to survive. I can't help but to be so happy that I lived. But I also can't help to think about how and why? I don't want to question it but why was I lucky? Is there something else I'm meant to do in the future? Or will it come back and I have to live this nightmare over again?
Anyway, good show, lots of tears and tough to watch tonight.
